If You Want The Braves To Win, Who Does Talking Chop Put In?

PrintOK, so I originally had this idea earlier in the season and totally forgot about it. Then Amazin Avenue had something similar, and it reminded me to do it.
As you know, a different blogger gets each series that the Braves play. In the beginning of the year, Gondeee, Pacgnosis and myself (mvhsbball) all spent time covering the series. Then Gondeee had to head off to the big times with SBN Atlanta and BenDurino was brought on to the team. So without further adieu, here are the standings for the season between the four bloggers:
Ben: 13-9, .590%
Jacob: 23-16, .589%
Martin: 12-5, .705%
Scott: 20-19, .512%
So in other words, Gondeee brings the wins, Jacob and Ben are consistently good, and I suck. Everyone already knew that though.
This will be updated at times throughout the year. Stay tuned.

hmmm
Scott=KK. A stint in the minors might do you some good…
Atlanta Hawks=the team that drafted big $$$$$$$$$ instead of big men.
Scott better step his game up for the stretch run to the playoffs
Otherwise, he’s a candidate to be non-tendered in the offseason, and will likely get picked up by the KC Braves Royals blog
Pretty much.

I like how this post includes just barely enough information that those of us who don't know people's first names can logic it out.

Anybody else thinking back to that “The Mets are the team to beat because they’re getting Beltran back” article? Yeah, those were good times. LOLMets

joe morgan
said statistical numbers. my head is about to explode
He haz teh bead on itz.
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb
On ESPN
It times the runner going from 1st to 2nd on a steal, then a combination of the throw home + the throw to 2nd. Then compares the two, and it shows whether the runner was safe or not, was pretty damn accurate on Reyes steal that was a blown call
Yeah, I don’t know how seriously they would ever use it, but it was pretty accurate on that steal. I’d be interested to see it used more often, even if it’s only for the announcers to use
Not necessarily
Because I’m pretty sure it’s timed from when it leaves the catchers hand to when the tag is put on, so the throw wouldn’t matter as much if they base it off the tag
moar joe-isms
“He gets in there before the throw, and that tells me that he’s safe.”
Oh Joe, you are so smart!

We should use that as a torcher strategy
Put people in a room for days listening to games done only by Joe Morgan and John Madden
PERFECT!
but why not play some Justin Bieber music too?

“It wasn’t like he blew the call totally”
No Joe, he half blew the call, the other half he got right, wtf
“You can’t go out there and argue the call!”
“Well then why did he go out there?”

now that I think about it,
it really speaks to the strength and consistency of the team that all four bloggers have winning records. This is all about winning series’, and that’s what the Braves have been doing so often this year. Sweet!!!
oh and Scott,
you’re doing a great job, but I’m sure it’s just poor run support and sloppy defense backing you up.
the KK comparisons are getting stronger then

I really need to win the last game of this Dodgers series to pass Ben. I know I won’t catch Gondeee (what a mark!), but I can at least make a run for second.
Oh, and Scott— you’ll rock it during the stretch run, I know it. Great players succeed when their team needs them most.

Watch us get swept by the Nats this week.

In an alternate universe,
they won, however.
So there’s that.

I didn’t realize that results were dependent upon which particular brand of lazy journalism was available for the day.
Good to know.

If it makes you feel any better, Scott
Your recaps are perhaps my favorites to read, even if we have lost almost half the time. :)
Thanks!
This lazy journalist appreciates the kind words.

Hey Scott - but your dog is adorable.
That has to count for something. :-)
And, there should be points for Bravery – because you join us in the GTs more than the rest :-)
